NAME

       CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH - get entry path in FTP server

SYNOPSIS

       #include <curl/curl.h>

       CURLcode curl_easy_getinfo(CURL *handle, CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH, char **path);

DESCRIPTION

       Pass  a  pointer  to  a char pointer to receive a pointer to a string holding the path of the entry path.
       That is the initial path libcurl ended up in when logging on to the  remote  FTP  or  SFTP  server.  This
       stores a NULL as pointer if something is wrong.

       The  path  pointer  is  NULL  or  points  to  private memory. You must not free it. The memory gets freed
       automatically when you call curl_easy_cleanup(3) on the corresponding curl handle.

PROTOCOLS

       This functionality affects ftp and sftp

EXAMPLE

       int main(void)
       {
         CURL *curl = curl_easy_init();
         if(curl) {
           CURLcode res;
           curl_easy_setopt(curl, CURLOPT_URL, "ftp://example.com");

           res = curl_easy_perform(curl);

           if(!res) {
             /* extract the entry path */
             char *ep = NULL;
             res = curl_easy_getinfo(curl, CURLINFO_FTP_ENTRY_PATH, &ep);
             if(!res && ep) {
               printf("Entry path was: %s\n", ep);
             }
           }
           curl_easy_cleanup(curl);
         }
       }
